“Jamie was great. I know our little girl appreciated getting some love and attention while we were away. Would use her again in a heartbeat. Our girl can sometimes be a little beastly, and you can tell Jamie reads cat signals well.”
“Zuhal is always very reliable, professional and willing to accommodate when necessary. My cat enjoys her presence and is well taken care of when she’s there. Highly recommend!”
“Adriana took fabulous care of my senior cat! She's flexible, professional, and a great commicator -- and my girl loved her. Would definitely book her services again!”
“Sierra did a wonderful job caring for my three cats for a week. They quickly warmed up to her and she gave them lots of attention, playtime and treats! I appreciated her daily updates with photos which let me know that everyone was doing great. She had a concern about their food intake at the beginning of the week and contacted me right away so we could discuss. She is very attentive, trustworthy and responds promptly to messages. I highly recommend her and will hire her for future pet sitting needs.”
“Cori was absolutely wonderful taking care of our two cats while we were away for a 10-day trip. She sent updates and photos throughout and was very responsive to messages as well. Within a few days, she even coaxed our shy cat to come out and get cuddles from her every day. She was a fantastic pet sitter!”
“Brittany did such an amazing job making sure my cat was cared for and fed. I really hadn’t left her alone for so long in many years. Brittany provided many photos and videos to help ease my stress. 11/10!”
“Bridget went above and beyond when taking care of my little kitty boy! She made my vacation so much better by taking such good care of him! Will definitely be booking again!”
“Alison and Robert were so kind and had such great attention to detail! My cat was definitely in good hands. I never like leaving my cat behind when I’m out of town but Alison and Robert put all my worries away. They brought my cat many little treats and catnip, spoiling her as if she was their own. They also brought in my mail which I super appreciated!! Would definitely rebook next time I am away from home.”
“Thank you for watching our cat Tino! Deborah was wonderful with keeping us updated with texts and pictures on how Tino was doing while we were away. We’re so appreciative!”

About: I own a two and half year dog. Her name is Cacahuete, healthy mud dog. I am familiar of daily task. Currently, she is with my husband in different state. I am able to work from home when I need to. Pretty flexible for the request from the owner. Since the owners are not going to there, they(your pet) going to feel the stress.

“Tyler did an excellent job looking after our kitties and guinea pigs while we were on vacation. He communicated often and followed all care instructions. He even got our shy kitty to warm up to him very quickly, which is a feat in itself. Everything was in perfect order when we returned. Highly recommend!”

“Jenny is the kindest, most thoughtful animal loving pet sitter anyone could ask for! She went above and beyond for my cat Willow while I was away!! You can tell she truly cares for the pets she is involved with! Absolutely could not recommend her any higher!!”
About: Schedule-Monday through Friday 6-2:30 I work and weekends off 🫠😁Animals have always been a part of my life growing up. Some of my family has a farm which I got to experience and learn from. I would walk a dog named Molly. She belonged to an older person who struggled with it. All 4 years of high school I was responsible for her grooming, as well as making sure she had plenty of extra love. I truly enjoyed the trust of this pet parent, and Molly that I gained from this time. I wish to continue that commitment now with the pet parents I will be able to meet on here. I truly hope to get the chance to gain your, and your pets trust by reaching there needs. -Christian Rosario My week is surrounded around taking care of my own home and animals. I have flexible hours with my job. If I am unable to be home my girlfriend is there all through the week. She only works weekends as a traveling vet assistant. On those days I am home to reach our animals and your pets needs. They will always be given attention and love. I have a fenced in back yard and two dogs of my own who are trained and help me train other dogs. Both are working emotional support dogs, as we understand they need a purpose to feel a part of the pack. Our house is big enough that no animals have to be together at any point. If this makes pet owners more comfortable and would like there pets separated to enjoy some alone time.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including feeding, providing fresh water, and ensuring they get regular exercise through walks. I have looked after my friends dog on multiple occasions, taking responsibility for their daily needs and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m actively looking to walk dogs as I enjoy walking them during the evening time. I’m a teacher so during school year, lm available 3 pm and onwards I am only offering dog walking service since I live in an apartment, it will be very difficult to take care of the dog here.

Syracuse cat parents share their Rover experiences
Adriana was a lifesaver when we needed someone we could trust to watch our babies while we were away for our wedding. She was very gentle and patient with our cats who have specific needs. She did everything we asked and we will be hiring her again for our next trip!
We highly recommend Margaret. She did a wonderful job looking after our cats and guinea pigs while we were away. She went to great lengths to get our picky cat to eat, which we very much appreciate. She was responsive and always sent photos and updates. When we got back they were happy and clearly well cared for. I hope she is available to watch them again the next time we are out of town.
We cannot recommend Zuzu enough! She has been watching our beloved Foxxy-Freyja for a few years and consistently goes above and beyond. When it began, our girl was going through chemotherapy and required medications and Zuzu did wonderful with her. Not only does she do an amazing job with care, playtime, and providing detailed updates and pictures, but she also helped out by bringing in packages while we were away. It is such a relief to find someone so trustworthy, professional, and genuinely caring. Foxxy-Freyja absolutely adores her, and we can finally travel worry-free. 5 stars!😻😻😻😻😻
Isabel is the best, we had a sad situation made worse, my mom passed and we had to ask her to watch her kitty in a different location. She was so great about it and she was amazing with my mom’s cat. The cat is actually so much more social now, so we were able to find her a new home!! Thank you so much, I’ll always recommend you
Mollie was an outstanding sitter for our cat, and I highly recommend her! She took amazing care of our furbaby, Chester, and made certain that he felt loved and cared for during our absence. Her updates and photos were greatly appreciated. She took care of all of his needs, and he was especially thrilled to get regular brushings and treats. I most appreciate that she was efficient in taking care of the basics (food, water, litter) so that she could spend quality time spoiling him during each visit. Chester misses you, Mollie!
Tyler did an excellent job looking after our kitties and guinea pigs while we were on vacation. He communicated often and followed all care instructions. He even got our shy kitty to warm up to him very quickly, which is a feat in itself. Everything was in perfect order when we returned. Highly recommend!
Nicole was fantastic in caring for our three kitties. She sent so many pictures at our request and gave very detailed notes. She also took our feedback into consideration from the first visit into the rest of the visits in our booking. We would be so happy to have her care for them again!
